Hearing Liuye’s reason for having a meal, Su Xiaofeng admitted defeat.
He helped her father with the stitches and even offered to treat them to a meal afterwards, Liuye truly was a warm-hearted person.
"Liuye, I’ll come too. I’ll help you with the fire," Wu Ershun said immediately upon hearing there was food to eat.
"Your skill at starting a fire does indeed need some learning," Liuye said with a look of disdain when it came to Wu Ershun’s fire-making ability.
When they returned home, Liuye looked at his grandson with disdain, "Acheng, you’re so concerned about Su Xiaofeng, don’t tell me the child in her belly is yours."
Ye Cheng gave him a glance, "Old man, you’re not getting senile thinking about great-grandchildren, are you?"
If it were his, he would have some memory of it.
"It’s not entirely impossible," Liuye mused ambiguously as he glanced at Ye Cheng. "I recall that over two months ago, you came crawling home covered in blood, and at that time..." Liuye looked at Ye Cheng meaningfully, "by then you had lost the status of being a pure young man. I’ve been curious since then, wondering which bold woman dared to have her way with you."
This grandson of his had one flaw; he was fine with treating patients, but if any woman tried to get close to him, he would surely get sick and then throw the woman far, far away. In such a scenario, the woman wouldn’t end up dead, then she’d surely be crippled.
Having waited at home for over two months, he thought that if the girl were to come looking for them, the least they could do would be to treat her well, wouldn’t it?
Yet, he waited at home for over two months, and all was calm. Within a hundred miles, there was no news of any girl being hurt or crippled.
Ye Cheng felt that his grandfather’s words were purely nonsensical, "Grandpa, you must be drunk, I didn’t have an episode two months ago. I took down two people who were after me, alright?"
Spoken with such detail, he almost doubted himself, wondering if he actually had been taken by that woman.
"Old Xu as well, with his sharp nose, managed to find out we’re here. Looks like we need to leave this place soon," Liuye said, not bothering to argue with Ye Cheng. His head was not right; arguing with him wouldn’t get anywhere.
Of course, if Ye Cheng really liked Su Xiaofeng and the baby in her belly wasn’t his, then things would indeed be a bit troublesome.
Without saying a word, Ye Cheng entered his room, then with a bang, shut the door behind him.
Liuye stared at the door, "Stinker, no respect for elders at all, have you? And you don’t even realize I’m doing this for you."
That evening, Su Xiaofeng sat at the desk designing a logo. She had bought bottles, and the chili peppers were readily available, so her path to entrepreneurship would start tomorrow.
She first drew a pear blossom and then added some elements to the basis of its shape until she was satisfied.
After stretching languidly, just as she was about to go to sleep, she heard Xiaoqi’s voice complaining, "Master, I’m hungry, and I want to drink the brown sugar water I had last time."
Sweet, it was truly sweet, and it liked it.
Su Xiaofeng was stunned, "You really get hungry?"
Since she woke up, Xiaoqi had only drunk brown sugar water once, and it was a bowl that had been poisoned.
"Although it doesn’t really matter whether I eat or not, Master, I’m still a child, after all. Liking sweets is understandable, isn’t it? Of course, if you let me have a bowl every few days in the future, I will be very happy," Xiaoqi said.
The Master had never been a mother after all and didn’t realize that children need to be coaxed.
It was just an elf, but at the end of the day, it was also a child, one that needed coaxing.
"And then?" Su Xiaofeng asked.
"And then, if I’m happy, Master can ask me to do anything, like help with a logo or something, it’s no trouble at all," Xiaoqi said, dancing with joy at the thought of having something sweet to drink.
Su Xiaofeng narrowed her eyes, "Can you help me draw one exactly like mine?"
